Carla Zampatti x Shark Beauty backstage report – May 12th, 2025
Shark Beauty is the Presenting Partner of AFW 2025 and Madison Voloshin is Shark Beauty's hair director for recreating runway looks.
The look:
Elevated simplicity with bold, architectural structure.
"The inspiration behind the look came from Carla Zampatti herself, she had beautiful hair with a lot of strength - I once did her hair which was an amazing experience," said Voloshin.
"I tried to pull through the brand DNA by giving the hair a strong yet feminine look using a side part and soft wave but still giving structure to the hair."
Key products:
Shark FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying System and Shark SpeedStyle RapidGloss Finisher & High-Velocity Dryer.
Get the look:
1. Ensure the hair is properly primed with mousse for volume and texture so the hair floats as you walk, but enough structure that when they’re walking outside it holds it’s integrity.
2. Thin back to your foundational blow drying techniques, using the Shark Beauty FlexStyle with the auto wrap curler attachment, set the hair in a brick pattern method ensuring the roots are completely dry and elevating your section so the hair is polished.
3. Pin each section with a clip to set the hair until you have a full blow dry set, release clips and brush the hair with a dressing brush.
4. With hair that has more texture and needs a bit more work, use the Shark Beauty SpeedStyle with a round brush to add smoothness to the root area.
5. Use a very classic rolling technique and elevate the hair with the brushes for volume. Use the cool shot setting on the SpeedStyle to set each section.
